OK, so try
select relname from pg_class where relisshared and pg_relation_filenode(oid) = 26745;
That should tell you which table or index is busted.

Um. AWS is, AFAIK, pretty much guaranteed to lose your data eventually.
It's a great compute service if you can afford to have nodes fail now
and then ... but probably not the best substrate for a database. If
you have to use it for that, you *must* have good backup and replication
strategies in place.
